Today, you will be setting up your interactive notebooks for our next unit on Genetics. You will be making the same unit introduction pages for this unit that you did in our cells unit. Take a few minutes and follow these simple steps :)
Open to your next new page. This is your title page. Write the word "Genetics" somewhere large on the page. Dress it up! Make it look great! Feel free to search images of "genetics" and see what you come up with. Take no more than five or six minutes to do this.
The next page is your "Aha Connections" page. Create a medium-sized light bulb in the middle and place in the question: "Why do I look and act the way I do?"
Remember that the right hand side of the page is the "Input" side and the left hand side is the "Output" side.
